Missions
A faith that serves...
Growing in Compassion, Together
At Monte Vista, compassion isn't just something we feel — it's something we live out. As disciples, we're called to look beyond ourselves and serve others, both within our church family and in the wider world. That calling shapes how we show up for our neighbors and for people we may never meet.
We're proud to partner with organizations doing meaningful work at home and abroad, including God's Hidden Treasures, Harbor House, James Storehouse, Habitat for Humanity, IMPACT, Lighthouse Shelter, Manna, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Teen Challenge, Lifewater International, Saving Innocence, and Young Life.
Ways You Can Serve
Our mission is rooted in Matthew 28, where Jesus calls us to go and make disciples of all nations — teaching, baptizing, and walking alongside others. And He gives us this promise: "I am with you always, to the very end of the age." We don't go out alone, and neither do you.
There are so many ways to jump in. You can help us build playhouses with Habitat for Humanity, giving families a place to call their own. You can serve shelter meals for those experiencing homelessness in our community. Every hand makes a difference.
We Go Out, Never Alone
Serving isn't just about showing up once — it's a lifestyle of faith, sustained through prayer and generosity. We equip and send short- and long-term missionaries into the field. We provide shelter, clothing, food, and above all, the love of God to those in need, both locally and around the world.
Ready to get involved? We'd love to have you. Contact the church office at 805-498-8213 or montevistaoffice@montevistanp.church to find out how you can start serving today.
Missions Spotlight
Habitat For Humanity: Serving Those Who Serve
Monte Vista Presbyterian church has been a long time supporter of Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County. For many years we have supported their efforts through our Mission outreach, with both monetary support and participation in their home build programs and with their efforts with playhouse builds for the military families of Ventura County. As an organization, Habitat seeks to build a county where everyone has a safe, decent place to live. They help support the building of affordable homes in the county through a program where the eventual homeowner can participate in the building of their own home and assume a mortgage that they can afford. Potential homeowners complete 250 to 500 hours of sweat equity working alongside Habitat volunteers to help build their own homes. They offer families a “hand up, not a handout.” Habitat also supports home repairs for low-income homeowners, and they advocate for policies that create more housing for struggling families.
Habitat has been in Ventura County since 1983 and has built 72 homes and has repaired over 170 houses over that time. 100% of donations are invested into the programs to keep building. Habitat’s current projects are in communities in Port Hueneme (townhomes) and South Oxnard Cypress Court (tiny homes), and their work presses on despite the COVID pandemic. As many businesses have been adversely affected by COVID, Habitat could always use your donation and this can be done directly through their website at https://www.habitatventura.org.
Habitat for Humanity also maintains home item donation sites (“Re-stores”) in Simi Valley and Oxnard, where you can donate gently used furniture that are sold to help fund their activities. You can even call for a pickup from your home after contacting them. Your donation is also tax-deductible and you will receive a receipt for taxes just as if you donated to other charities.
